Docs / Networking & Firewall / Power DNS Integration and Reverse DNS Zones

Power DNS Integration and Reverse DNS Zones

Virtlix can connect to a real PowerDNS Authoritative Server via its official HTTP API, letting you manage reverse DNS (PTR) zones for your IP ranges directly from the panel instead of editing zone files by hand.

Adding a DNS server: provide the PowerDNS server's API URL and API key (matching PowerDNS's own api-key config setting) - not the DNS protocol port itself, the webserver/API port. Use Test Connection to confirm the panel can actually reach it and authenticate before relying on it.

Creating a reverse zone: from a connected DNS server, add a reverse zone for one of your IP blocks (currently supports octet-aligned ranges - /24, /16, or /8, e.g. 185.59.124.0/24). Virtlix computes the correct in-addr.arpa zone name and creates it on the PowerDNS server as a Native zone with the nameserver you specify.

One DNS server can be marked as the default - useful if you manage more than one PowerDNS instance but have a primary one most reverse zones should go to.
